Forza Horizon 6

Forza Horizon 6

Forza Horizon 6 does exactly what fans expect it to do. It delivers a massive open world packed with beautiful scenery, an absurd number of cars, and some of the best arcade racing gameplay available today.

Caromble!

Caromble! is a brick breaking adventure as you set out to stop evil and reclaim the powerful Arkatrons from being used for evil. Fight back, break bricks, and use the power of the Arkatrons to save the universe.

Bus Bound

Bus Bound

Bus Bound is such a relaxing experience that is a fantastic way to unwind and continue to unlock new areas of the city, bus routes, and customization options for your bus. It may disappoint fans of Bus Simulator in its watered down simulator elements, but It's a choice I strongly believe was the right call, allowing Bus Bound to be something more digestible and casual.

Kiln

Kiln

Kiln is a game about creation and destruction. You fashion a pot out of mystical artifacts, and your own little body, and do battle in 4 on 4 encounters as you attempt to quench their Kiln. With color and personable charm to the game, Kiln is an absolute delight.

Opus: Prism Peak

 Opus: Prism Peak

The world of Opus: Prism Peak is a finely crafted tale that ebbs and flows with wrenching and heavy emotion not often felt in many forms of media these days. I kindly recommend Eugene's story to anyone ready to take the plunge into a new world that threatens to pull you in and never let go of the heart it exposes in you.

Smash it Wild

Smash it Wild

Smash it Wild, developed by Goblinz Studio in collaboration with Ernestine, is a rather unique tactical sports roguelike, taking the fundamentals of volleyball, dodgeball, and having that work around the roguelike progression of that one more run.

Mouse P.I. For Hire

Mouse P.I. For Hire

Mouse P.I. For Hire excels in its genre and has not only a well-executed story, but a fantastic cast of characters to boot, brought to life with some often superb vocal performances. The gunplay and action is damn fun, and accompanied by a great soundtrack, it gives this game not only a fun and unique vibe, but an experience that is oozing with character. 

Replaced

Replaced

Replaced offers up some of the best pixel art to ever exist, and much of its combat is so stylish that it feels pulled from some of the best action scenes across any genre. Flipping over an enemy to perform an execution never gets old, but the rest of the experience just doesn't live up to that high. 

Tides of Tomorrow

Tides of Tomorrow

Tides of Tomorrow is a very unique narrative-driven title that could start a whole new genre. We've seen shared choices through various games, such as showing the percentage certain players made with said choices, but never to the extent of living in the choices made by other players.

The Occultist

The Occultist

The Occultist is a first-person supernatural ghost story crafted by DALOAR and Daedalic Entertainment. As you travel to Godstone Island in search of your father, you discover that a cult has performed a ritual that has made the island devoid of life, almost frozen in time. However, Godstone Island isn’t the only part of the game devoid of life

Pragmata

Pragmata

As Hugh discovers that the Lunar Moon Base is abandoned, he will come to rely on Diana, an android girl whose hacking skills will aid in their survival as a rogue AI has taken over the station. With a threat looming overhead against Earth, the pair must work together to protect Earth at all costs.

Town of Zoz

Town of Zoz

The Town of Zoz has been a story given magical life. Landscapes and crowded town streets are stuffed to the brim with cultural influence that almost makes you swear you can smell Ito's cooking. From battles to cooking, and a bit of farming, Town of Zoz can often be a great time.

Incantation

Incantation

Incantation is, simply put, a walking simulator horror experience. You’ll collect documents to learn more about the lore, solve puzzles, and avoid confrontations as you have no way to truly defend yourself. The atmosphere is fairly impressive with a few solid scares, but a limit on your interaction with the world does lessen the appeal.

Fortune Seller

Fortune Seller

Running a small shop that sells a variety of wares is never an easy task, even in the best of times. But when you have a debt hanging over you that if you don't pay, it is your flesh on the line. This is where we find ourselves with Fortune Seller, a gothic rogue-like where you are the shopkeeper trying to pay off your debt.

Beyond Words

Beyond Words

If you’re a fan of word-based games of any kind, then Beyond Words is absolutely a must-play. It’s an experience that I will continue playing for hundreds of hours. While Balatro’s ‘lightning in a bottle' success might not be replicated here, it does provide that similar rush when a round goes your way and you feel like an absolute god. With all that in mind, it’s impossible not to recommend it to everyone who likes these deckbuilding roguelike-style games.

Crimson Desert

Crimson Desert

Crimson Desert is a single-player action game from developer Pearl Abyss. This is the studio behind Black Desert Online, and they have taken their MMO history and wrapped it in a game that feels equal parts Red Dead Redemption 2, The Witcher III, and Tears of the Kingdom/Breath of the Wild.

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance is every bit as cringy as most fan fiction stories go, especially ones where the author injects a new character of their own and makes them pivotal to the backstory of well-established characters, thus reconstructing the lore to suit the author's needs.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflections advances the gameplay, story, and core systems beyond the portable nature of its predecessors. With doom on the horizon and truths that come to light, the prophecy of the Rathalos begins anew. This latest entry may drop its online to focus more on its single-player campaign, it is nonetheless a compelling package from start to finish.
